This week brings with it 2 of the greatest ambassadors we’ve seen of Brazil’s Joga Bonito.
With a 99 rated FUTTIES Neymar Jr. in packs the SBC section needed something to compete.
For that, we have Ronaldinho making a return to the Icon section with his Cover Stars Icon SBC available in FIFA Ultimate Team now!
The former FC Barcelona and AC Milan legend’s SBC is extremely expensive, coming in at a price of 2.8M coins and a headache-inducing 33(Yes, you read that right, it’s thirty three) segments needed to unlock the card.
The card is absolutely incredible with absurdly good stats and characteristics such as:
- 99 Acceleration and 98 Sprint Speed with his Controlled AcceleRATE type makes him extremely quick over short sprints
- With both the Outside Foot Shot and Finesse Shot traits while having 94 Positioning, 97 Finishing, 90 Shot Power and 93 Long Shots makes him lethal at every shooting range
- Impeccable playmaking with 97 Vision, 94 Crossing, 96 Short Passing, 90 Long Passing and 94 Curve
- Having his own Unique body type as well as animation, the Flair Trait and incredible dribbling stats with 98+ in all categories except a 95 Balance, he will be the best dribbler of the ball in the game bar none
- 91 Stamina means he won’t need to be substituted for 80+ minutes
- 90 Strength and 80 Aggression will help him come out on top in almost all duels and 50/50’s
- 5-Star Skill Moves and Weak Foot will allow him to make the most of his stats with both feet
- High/Medium workrates are perfect for an attacker
His ideal position in game would be as a central CAM in a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-3-3(4) setup. Using his magnificent dribbling and ball playing abilities behind the striker, acting as both the playmaker and finisher lets us bring the best out of him.
He has a similar player profile to that of FUTTIES Neymar Jr. These 2 cards are the only 2 cards in the game that boast such unique dribbling animations, 5-Star Skill Moves and Weak Foot and 90+ in all key stats. Words cannot capture the uniqueness of these cards in FIFA 23.
That being said, the card does have one drawback that is:
- Despite his Height and Jumping, 75 Heading Accuracy is quite low and will make him a poor aerial target
What Chemistry Styles to use for Cover Star Icon Ronaldinho?
The suggested Chemistry Style for Cover Star Icon Ronaldinho is: HAWK. The boost in Pace, Shooting and Physicals brings those stats as close to 99 as possible and the +8 aggression covers a minor weakness in this glorious card.
Cover Stars Icon Ronaldinho: Complete or Yeet?
Honestly, for almost any other card if you had said 2.8M coin SBC in August at the height of FUTTIES I would have scoffed but this Ronaldinho card is more than worth this cost. Yes, it’s tedious and 33 squads will take some time to complete but at the end of it, for however little time you do get you will have the most enjoyable experience. As bad as this looks it its much more accessible than other top tier cards which just makes my point. My verdict: Complete!
